BBC Nature - Wildlife 'crash' in the Mara region of Kenya, Africa

Human populations are increasing alarmingly however this is unfortunately what happens when biodiversity has no economic value to the locals:

Instead, increasing livestock has economic value to the Kenyan locals, leading to the exploitation of natural habitat.
We all know that direct use of wildlife has been banned in Kenya since 1977.Tanzania bordering Kenya to the South however still allows direct use in the form of controlled trophy hunting and wildlife in these concession areas are a lot better off as locals benefit directly from the income generated from the controlled hunting.

Preserving natural habitat is key to the survival of populations of wild species.The reoccurring "hysteria" relating to species becoming extinct is misleading and is easily used as a means to stir ignorant folk's emotions to generate funds for the entrepreneurial "hysteria" fabricators.
